The Cum Doctor

I'm assuming he promoted/organised the event

Correct. There's a non-tournament match and he wasn't involved in that either.

I watched Brian Kendrick's King of Flight tournament.

Know who I don't like? Brian Kendrick. Is it just me? He's one of those ones that has the great reputation. Everything I've seen from him has been garbage. Garbage in WWE. The absolute pits in TNA. He's my pick for most overrated wrestler of the last ten years.

He isn't in the tournament thankfully.

I thought he was alright in WWE actually. It was when he got back to the indies and all he started doing was that stupid jumping kick that I really took a dislike to him.

If you like spotfests, this is going to be right up your alley. Loads of highflying, great sequences and massive moves. If you look more more than these things in your wrestling though, you'll absolutely hate it. The Young Bucks do bring a different dimension to their own matches though.

The remake of Straw Dogs is boring as fuck, but Alexander Skarsgard is indeed great to watch in it.

Another example of this recently is Julianne Moore in the remake of Carrie, which really wasn't very good at all, but Moore's just horrifying in it.

Watched the third episode of True Detective.

SPOILER - Highlight the black box to read

Given the latest Low Ki stuff I have seen is his EVOLVE stuff, this news doesn't please me at all. Put him against Dave Rayne. Or book CJ Banks again and feed him to him.

There's a pretty sizeable crossover audience with it, but it'll be nowhere near the majority.

Grado's announcement has pretty much ensured I'm going down both nights.

EDIT: They didn't say he was a poor man's Manson btw. They said they didn't need him because they HAD Manson.

I'd say that Bale and Lawrence are well worth their nominations for American Hustle. Would also maybe have had Jeremy Renner ahead of Jonah Hill too. I thought Hill was fun, but Renner was terrific as the goody two shoes guy.

It's going to be very strange to see Jared Leto win an Oscar. Deserved, but weird.

anyone catch the first episode of True Detective? don't think it's on over here yet but it's online, looks like its gonna be some good shit.

The first episode had me absolutely captivated. Especially Rusty Cohle.

PWG Battle of Los Angeles 2013 Night Two is one of the best wrestling shows I've ever seen. Utterly incredible. Top to bottom wonderful stuff.

Iced Earth's new album really reminds me of "...And Justice For All" in places, which is no bad thing. Really liking it on first listen.

Best British Wrestler:

Kris Travis

Noam Dar

Mikey Whiplash

Best British Match:

Grado vs. Mikey Whiplash - ICW Terminator 2: Judgment Day

Not really seen enough of other promotions to make any judgment.

Is there any wrestling on demand sites that allows for downloads as well? I've been using Highspots to get a lot of PWG stuff, but I want to get more stuff on top of that and prefer to be able to download.

It's not necessarily that. I think the majority of people these days get that the police can't just demand something like that from you. And some guy just walking in saying this doesn't make their case any better. I know that if someone asked me that over the phone, I'd hang up instantly.

Here's what I made of it. Stupid. Now, I can take stupid movies. But what makes this one so hard to take is that it's so close to what actually happened. How can people in general just be so fucking thick? It made me so angry to watch at times and it made it worse knowing that so much of what was going on actually happened. Credit to them for sticking to the facts so much and it might well be a story worth telling, but I don't want to hear it or see it.

Worth noting the new Kris Travis set is out today. Bought it for myself and it looks damn fine.

Chalk me up as a fan of The Last Exorcist. It shits over most of the recent found footage films. I think I'll have to watch the sequel this weekend.

Yeah, I've had to dig deep to find good ones. Although I seem to like Grave Encounters more than most. The second one is dire, but the first one had me on the edge of my seat for about 50 straight minutes.

Other ones worth looking out for are Home Movie and Exhibit A. The latter being a really grim movie and built around the performance of the guy in the middle of it all, which is truly one of the best I've ever seen. Disturbing. Home Movie is disturbing too, but for other reasons. Really don't wanna say much about that.

I really find it difficult to want to watch The Last Exorcism II because 1) I love found footage horror an don't know how I'll take to the change and 2) As you said, it's such an under-rated movie. I think the change in perspective might make me take it as a stand alone movie easier though. I think you've pushed me to giving it a go.

 

The switch from found-footage to regular movie kinda makes it the Blair Witch: Book of Shadows to the original, but while it's not as good as the first one, it's totally worth watching for the completely insane ending. The original's ending was ballsy, but this is something else.

I loved the ending of the original.

I actually expected to like The Heat, but thought it was awful. Good to see The Conjuring continue to get some good press. It's not been the worst year for horrors. Really enjoyed In Fear and You're Next too, although the latter was more down to the comedy of it.

EDIT: Meant to say that yes, The Purge is shit. Like you I thought the premise was great, if a little silly.

Exceeded expectations. My own thoughts on day two.

* Really enjoyed Hardcore Holly and D'Lo Brown. Especially Holly, who came across as ridiculously down to earth, and seemed to love being there. Brown seemed to enjoy it as well, and seemed genuinely touched by the post-match reaction he got after the Hayes match. The match they had with each other was great fun.

* Uhaa's theme music. YASS!!!

* Dave Rayne and Mad Man Manson are two guys who I've never truly been convinced by, but I enjoyed both immensely last night.

* Kris Travis and Kevin Steen were both involved in two wars yesterday. Some good proper double duty from those two guys, and the idea of their respective opponents, Masters and Mastiff, going to war is also very appealing.

* Lionheart vs. AJ Styles is must-see stuff.

* I was like a little girl when Liger appeared, and also when he landed the Liger bomb.

Johnny Moss vs. Bob Holly added to night two, which sounds quite good to me.

Lionheart defends the title against Doug Williams in a Submissions Match on night one.

Not sure it's been mentioned yet that Danny Hope faces Uhaa Nation on the daytime show.

He can do the strut quite well too.

EDIT: Makes me love that I decided to go for the daytime show too. Really excited for this match.

Bob Holly vs. D'Lo Brown has been added to the daytime show.
